And Beer to Serve Jerk Chicken Biryani and Bailey A 2025 on March 22
The Koenji brewpub "And Beer" announced its operating lineup for Sunday, March 22. The day is divided into three parts - lunch, idle time, and dinner - with jerk chicken biryani, shrimp biryani, and three kinds of curry on offer. Drinks also include "Bailey A 2025," a beer made with wine grapes.
Hop BroAnd Beer in Koenji is going for straight-through service on Sunday, March 22. Being able to enjoy lunch, idle time, and dinner without a break is great, right?
MugiWait, they're open that long? Being able to enjoy it without a gap is basically a drinker's dream, isn't it?
Hop BroAnd the star is jerk chicken biryani. The beans, coconut, and allspice bring out that Jamaican vibe, and it just hits straight at the appetite.
MugiI get jerk chicken, but biryani too? When you say Jamaican vibe, is it like the spices are dancing?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's a dish where chicken is finished with boldly aromatic spices and paired with biryani rice. And with three kinds of curry as well, the layers of flavor keep stacking up.
MugiWait, curry too? My stomach is having a meeting now. Three kinds of curry means choosing is half the fun.
Hop BroThe recommendation is duck keema. Duck has a deep umami flavor, so when you combine it with spices, it adds depth all at once.
MugiDuck too!? So it's not a biryani place anymore, it's more like a feast place? I want a drink with duck keema.
Hop BroWhat stands out on the drinks side is Bailey A 2025. It's introduced as a beer made with wine grapes, and it's interesting how it's aiming for fruitiness that works with the food.
MugiA beer made with wine grapes sounds stylish just from the name! If it has fruitiness and good pairing, it sounds like it'd go well with spicy food too.
Hop BroThe flow of eating well in Koenji and finishing with a drink that complements the meal really feels like And Beer. This is the kind of place where you take a deep breath before walking in.
MugiI know, I'm hungry just reading it! With biryani and a drink, it feels like today is the day to go.
